McCormick sophomore and team member Beni Keown said he was pleased with the team’s results.
“It was extremely gratifying,” Keown said. “In past tournaments, NU has been solid, but nowhere near contention for any titles. As the day went on and we kept winning against solid teams, it was surprising. When we finished, it was a really cool feeling that we were the best undergrad team.”
Each of the three NU teams competing had their share of success. The A team, composed of four graduate students, placed second in the whole tournament. The B team, made up of four undergraduate students, took home first among teams without graduate students and the C team of two freshmen, held their own with two wins in the tournament.
